[Shotimes] Tire load rating

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

I buying some tires off of TireRack.  For now I'm going to go "cheap" and
get the Kumho "x ta" Supra 712.  However I got a call from them after I
placed my order that they cannot sell me the 225/50/16 WR or VR tire due to
the tire load rating being 1389lbs.  They said they cannot sell that tire
per Ford for the Taurus (very nervous I guess from the Explorer deal).  I
have to go with the  225/55/16 which has a load rating of ~1521lbs.  Ford
spec is 1520lbs or higher...
